i must say i always shake my head when people talk about winning culture.
winning culture never comes unless you have the cattle who are good enough to win. simply put we dont have the cattle.and even if we do have the cattle the bulk of the herd is way to young and inexperienced theres only one way for them to gain that experience.
play the bloody kids but have enough older types around them so they arent thrown to the wolves..lets find out what they have got.

Les Miserables
 
Last year when Richmond played Geelong in the NAB Cup all the problems that plagued the team throughout the regular season were evident in that match.
- Poor skill level
- Midfield smashed
- Poor tackling
- Power forward dominating against our undersized defense

And as far back as I can remember the pre-season comp has been an exceptionally accurate guide to the rest of the year when it comes to Richmond.

I for one, just want to see some notable signs of improvement particularly in the midfield and skill level. Win or lose just show me that all the pre-season training has not been a big fat waste of time.
